Okayest Metroid ever. The highs are super high and the lows are super low. Lots of great streamlining in the gameplay, making Samus move smoother than ever.

But, and there's a big but, the fucking EMMIs are just the worst. Each encounter is really irritating, as it's trial and error. There's no actual sneaking or feeling hunted, you just go into a room, die, then go into the room and die again. Eventually, you know the route and you don't die. REAL bad.

It is true what they say: you can't go home again. This ain't your daddy's (my) Metroid.
